Off-board charging, where users can charge plug-in hybrids and pure electrical vehicles on personal garages and open parking lots, demands a optimized solution with high MCU switching frequency to stay efficient and cost competitive. Our XMC4xxx portfolio is a great fit for the application as it integrates all the features needed for off-board-charging. Here some key benefits:

Platform concept to allow extensive customization

Performance, efficiency and cost competitiveness

Accurate analog-mixed signal peripherals

Fast timer/PMW peripheral

Solar inverters:

Infineon provides a comprehensive portfolio to deliver the best efficiency and reliability for solar applications. Infineon's leading edge technology like Superjunction MOSFET, Trench + Field stop IGBT, Coreless transformer driver, etc, combined with rich experience and highest quality, ensured our No.1 position in solar application. Solar power conversion has three distinctive requirements:

System cost down: Inverters manufacturers will continuously optimize the price per output power on system level.

System efficiency: Efficiency is key for return of investment.

Reliability: 5+years lifetime for string inverters and 25 years for micro inverter and optimizer.

Switched mode power supplies:

Power supply designs are subject to ever-increasing requirements. Some of them are fueled by customer demands or industry association guidelines (such as higher power density, communication, modularity or the 80 Plus Titanium efficiency standard). Semiconductor technology advances have allowed MCU manufacturers to develop a new class of MCUs, optimized for digital power conversion applications in terms of features and price point. This new market development his what motivates ever more power supply designers to use digital control for SMPS.

Some functionalities that makes XMC4000 suited to motor control application:

DAVE™ – Free Eclipse based code development platform/IDE offering code repository, graphical system design methods, and automatic code generator to guide XMC™ microcontroller user along the entire process – from evaluation to production (E2P). XMC™ Lib and DAVE™ generated code is tested and released for use with 3rd party tool.

For MATLAB® and Simulink®

The XMC™ Library for Embedded Coder® enables the automatic code generation of your software algorithm optimized for XMC™ MCUs. It provides system and peripheral initialization and a comprehensive set of peripheral library blocks, such as

MatrikonOPC UA Embedded Suite for Microcontroller

In this emerging hyper-connected world, even the smallest devices will be expected to support secure standards-based data connectivity. Selected as the connectivity standard of choice for Industrie 4.0 applications, OPC UA is the single, most important data connectivity standard vendors need to implement in their devices to ensure their products can take part in and compete in the new world.

The MatrikonOPC UA Embedded Software Development Kit (SDK) is the fastest, easiest way to OPC UA enable your Infineon based systems using XMC4000 MCU family. Without having to learn the intricacies of OPC UA and not having to debug OPC UA server implementations, the MatrikonOPC UA Embedded SDK lets you confidently take your OPC UA enabled product to market faster.

For EPSON TFT CTRL ICs, XMC™ microcontrollers and DAVE™ IDE

Professional, discrete and scalable TFT display control solutions

The EPSON Graphics Library/API is a software library designed to enable and simplify the process of displaying graphics and text on a TFT panel by using a general purpose XMC™ microcontroller connected to an EPSON TFT CTRL ICs (S1D13781) in a discrete and scalable system approach like shown below:

Thanks to the free-of-charge library/API for DAVE™ IDE, a comprehensive documentation and a Arduino hardware compatible shield board (S5U13781R01C100), user can easy experience the system performance and benefits that a discrete system approach offers:

The free-of-charge version µC/Probe™ XMC™ is a derivative of µC/Probe™ developed by Micrium® working with XMC™ microcontrollers only. µC/Probe™ XMC™ is a Windows based application that allows you to read and write the memory of XMC™ microcontrollers during run-time in a non-intrusive way and with a graphical dashboard to fine-tune your application.

Generate your own user interface (UI) by dragging and dropping of controls and indicators. No programming is required. Drag and drop the graphic components into place and watch them

Real-time monitoring and instant control of global variables and memory in non-intrusive way

Use µC/Probe™ for XMC™ to extend the capabilities of your debugging software by running both at the same time

As an example, visualize real-time data of time critical control loops in motor control or digital power conversion with an 8 channel digital oscilloscope. The oscilloscope can simply be instrumented with a target code that allows configurations like sample frequency and sample buffer size. The datas are visualized in a GUI running on a PC and enabling sophisticated features like negative/positive, pre/post, single/continuous trigger to exactly capture important real-time data to analyze and optimize the application code.
